hi, i am an altoolic and i am trying to see if it could be worth to undust my monk, thing is that i haven’t played him in a long time and i have no intention to grind another blood of the ennemy essence, already did that 3 times, so what ya think, would vision of perfection with serenity be a good alternative?
Nope. There’s at least half a dozen, if not a dozen, essence and talent combinations that are better than Serenity and Vision.
conflict and strife for st and focusing iris for aoe then?
Conflict and Strife is one of those things that looks (really) good on paper but doesn’t perform well in practice. Right now, I think breath of the dying is probably the overall strongest essence for monks? Conflict and Strife is the best if you can guarantee you’ll be able to use it for its full amount almost all the time, which in practice is difficult, at least in my experience. I also thinks it’s BS that the skill is not baseline.
The current set of windwalker abilities doesn’t need more buttons to press—adding something like expel harm should be accompanied by dropping some thing else (or folding two buttons into one).
Further, I find expel harm to be needlessly finicky given that the heal isn’t smart—change the heal to a smart heal, and I like the ability.
Nothing needs to be dropped for it. If it was baseline then it becomes just an alternative. If you cant get it off oh well.
It becomes more of a must because you are taking it over other options.
We dont need more things playing the game for us.
In m+ (where I use it majority of the time) usually just have the healer let the tank and I stay at 90% health and not top off so I can get the full benefit.
I dont have much of a problem using it in raiding though. Between tanks, other group members, raid wide dmg, and the negative corruption effects I have no trouble with getting expel off
There’s quite a few essences that are better in M+, and if you are able to use it in raids to the extent needed for it to be the best possible essence then you’re in a small group. The amount of micromanagement for a chance, if the stars align, of it being better then CLF or BotE just isn’t worth the brain power in most situations.
Oh I know there are better ones for m+ however I like having it to help with off healing. Its also a great answer to being able to ignore corruption effects
